The versatile Ruan Pienaar, a Rugby World Cup winner in 2007 and standout performer for Irish province Ulster recently, has made the scrumhalf jersey his own in 2012 thanks to his good kicking game, cool head under pressure and great decision making skills. He is a creative player, has size and pace, is tactically efficient and strong on defence. His father, Gysie Pienaar, played 13 Tests for the Boks in 1980 and 1981.
